Hey everyone, I've just updated pricing points for around 100 different countries for removing ads.

Please let me know how these look, it's been quite the challenge getting this right in so many different regions.

I'll be expanding localised pricing to ultra following feedback from this thread.

Cheers, Lj

Thanks, at a much cheaper price in India now!

[โ€“] Fissionami@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's the price over there now?

[โ€“] punseye@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Got Sync Ultra lifetime for 849โ‚น, that would be 10.27 USD.

Still too much in Australia. Sorry, want to support the work like on Sync for Reddit. But this app doesn't even have functionality to post yet and is $25 to remove ads. It just doesn't feel right considering it's the fediverse and there are no ads at the source.

I know you need to make a living. So you do what you need to.

Similar feedback from NZ. $28 NZD to remove ads... I think I paid around $5 for Sync for Reddit premium. I know that was a while ago, but $28 would be the most expensive app purchase I've ever made by a long way. In fact it'd be the most expensive software purchase of any kind that I've made in years. I'd love to support and this would normally be an easy decision for me, but given that Lemmy itself is still finding its feet I just can't justify it.

Agree that it's your livelihood and your price to set 100%, just thought some feedback that this particular localised price is steep might be useful.

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Should be $24.99 AUD there and I'm just finishing up posting. The price in Australia is regionalised.

[โ€“] yesterdayshero@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (7 children)

Yeah I noticed it had been changed. My feedback is that it's still too high. Sorry. The app is still in beta and missing major functionality. I think you may also need to look at some competitors as I haven't seen any priced like Sync and some are actually pretty damn good. I'm really enjoying Voyager for example.

I totally understand you need to make a living, but this isn't Reddit. And I'd rather put some of my money towards supporting the instances I use, rather than just in the app I use to access them.

I'm sure you're gonna do fine. You've got a great app and plenty of support. Just wanted to provide some honest feedback.

I believe the point he is making is the app is quite expensive even after adjustments. Compared indie games you are 33% more expensive than Hollow Knight. Only for ad removal.

It's skewed in a lot of our eyes.

[โ€“] oxf@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm sorry but what? You actually raised the price for us in Denmark?

Old cost was 20 USD, and now you're marking it at 25 USD.

[โ€“] oxf@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Old price: $20 - 136 kr.

New price: 175 kr. - $25.77

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope? Old cost was 175dkk and now it's 159.99dkk.

$26.25 in Canada. Fuck me I guess. Almost pulled the trigger at $20, now I won't be.

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (14 children)

I actually lowered the price in Canada. Wasn't ever $20 CAD

As a Canadian who bought Sync Ultra lifetime at full price before the price drop, I'm not even mad. You deserve every penny.

I'd double check on the Canadian pricing mine came out to $28.34 on day one.

I can afford that, and was going to be all in anyways, but out of pocket needs to drop below twenty bucks Canadian.

[โ€“] mp3@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Either I hallucinated or it glitched but I'm pretty sure it showed up closer to $20CAD before I decided to buy it and it was closer to $30CAD.

Thank you LJ, I purchased instantly. I really appreciate your work and understand this app is your livelihood but the original asking price was a number I wouldn't be comfortable spending, even deep inside knowing I would be getting my money's worth. Perhaps in installments would be fine, but yeah

[โ€“] running_tadpole@lemdro.id 14 points 1 year ago

The price updated in Indonesia. New price is more reasonable now.

[โ€“] Sponholz@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Brazil feedback:

  • Ultra lifetime, BRL $149.99 - Updated.

  • Ultra yearly, BRL $79.99 - Same as before.

  • Ultra monthly, BRL $9.49 - Same as before.

  • Ad removal, BRL $97.99 - Same as before.

Don't know if it's only the lifetime that was adjusted thought.

Keep up the amazing work LJ, the price adjust is just amazing, thanks for doing it. It was a little on the higher end here. Now it's fairly priced. Really appreciate it.

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ad removal should have been BRL $38.99, just adjusted this now. Looking to automate this process too so we don't have these issues again.

Thanks a bunch Lj, just bought it!

Would you consider a discount code for those who purchased Ultra in Sync for Reddit?

[โ€“] Brisolo32@lemmy.eco.br 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Still a bit expensive for Brazil but way more reasonable

I'm running the poor man's version but I haven't noticed any ads. I'm I just missing them or are they coming later

[โ€“] anonymous_bot@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I think some views like List don't have the ads.

[โ€“] humanplayer2@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Ditto, but I see blank "posts" here and there saying Supported content or something such.

[โ€“] wahming@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Bought it! A lot more reasonable and affordable with regional pricing enabled.

The price for removing ads in this version of sync is like 300% more expensive than it cost to remove them on reddit. I'm in Sweden.

Thanks, just bought the ads removal old android style blob emoji dancing

[โ€“] Wabbitsmiles@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Damnit, price increased for me. I should've jumped at ~100 for life time, now it's 149.98.

I'm in Switzerland

Thank you Lj. The price for add-free in Malaysia currency is very reasonable for me. It's been reduced to 1/3 of previous price. Considering USD1.00-> MYR4.50, I think the reduction is roughly in proportion to currency rate. and the living cost in Malaysia. If you could reduce the price of Ultra in the same proportion as the add-free, I will most likely subscribe to Ultra. So I'll wait until you expand the pricing for Ultra before making my decision.

I would suggest (current Ultra price)/4.5 which is the currency rate wrt USD.

[โ€“] _I_@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Thanks for adjusting the Norwegian price! Not cheap-cheap, but better than what it was ใƒพ(โŒโ– _โ– )ใƒŽโ™ช

Pricing for Ukraine didn't change.

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It should be 249 UAH. Might need to update Googles side.
